I have this problem on ICS...it's not rom related...cause i had it on Blue Lightning 1.1.0 and also on SLim ICS 3.1...the problem is that after some time (also after reboot) my contacts in people apps dissapear...it shows no contact...but when i open phone app contacts are dispayed there...i thought taht problem was because i had inverted contacts app...but now i have normal and again :/
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Have you cleared data from people app and contacts and everything contact related? Also download TB and do it from there. I had problems with my keyboard and somehow deleting from manage apps didn't work but deleting from TB solved it. Somehow its more through.
Have you factory reset from recovery and wiped cache, dalvik, system, etc..
Then flashed a rom fresh?
Of course i've done full wipe...and i tried clearing data of contacts but i don't try it through TB...i'll try and it now thanks but it was on two roms...my friend also have this problem now... :/ we don't know why...
after 2 reboots same again...no contact in people app...but through phone they are there... :/
I am in serious trouble w/ contact app too.
I am in ICS 4.0.4 Custom Rom(s). My Sync is always OFF..
Inverted or normal one make my contact members repeat to many times even 10 x the same member..
I am Cleaning data and reimporting them from Card but it has been doing the same behavior.
Upon a suggestion, I installed GoContacts EX and used its "merge" option but I observed this app erases fully the contact members itself. This apps also needs reimporting continuously.
I am sick and tired of this trouble..
Someone says SWYPE causes this problem, but I selected AndroidKeybord, still the same problem..
ANY SOLUTION ??

I can only think of two more things...
1. If both of you have it, it must be an app or something both of you are doing..
2. Another stupid thing that is probably tried... Go to the people app press menu, and look at contact to display..

I doubt swype is the problem i have used it before and nothing like this has happened. If it could be the problem you will probably have to disable the app from manage apps or un-install it for it to solve the problem
Where are all of you getting your contacts from, have you not stored it on google and then synced them. Or are they multiple sources?
Look at the pictures bellow...you can see that in people app there are no contacts but in phone app they are there! i tried to display all contacts and so on but no luck...
1. What happens when you click on "set up my profile"
2. Also when you go to "contacts to display" does the account you want show up?
3. Where are your contacts stored?? Google? Email? Sim card? sd card? Where?
4. When you try import it appears and then disappears later on....correct?
5. Have you tried wiping from Titanium backup?
Please answer all Q's
1. i can create my profile with my name i think...or what it is
2. yes they are both my gmail accounts
3. now on sd card...i tried it also with gmail and my friend who has this issue from sim...same problem
4. when i import them they are shown, but after some time they are not there, also after reboot they just dissapear
5. yes i tried it...didn't help
Full wipe again, fix permissions from recovery after setting up accounts manually (your not using back ups are you? If you are don't). Do this before setting up apps (let google download it automatically and finish, along with your contacts)
Upon reboot if the contacts aren't there again, delete one account and set-up again immediately. Let all contacts download turn off sync, go to recovery fix permissions, delete cache, and dalvik, reboot. Hopefully they should be there
If not then i think im out of ideas... Unless you want to see what happens when you go back to stock.... Its worth a try if its that annoying (I don't use the people app, only the phone app )
Very Good luck to you!!
My only Choice
As the most of ICS 4.0.4 custom Roms are connecting itself Wi-fi or Data and consequently as soon as connected it is syncing w/ google contacts even if it is set as 'sync off'.
Finally I could not find any other way but I rearranged my Google/ Gmail Contacts as the way I want in my phone thru the laptop.
It syncs but no more repetitions and erase.

Hi all,
I have a problem with my G1 phone, I cannot synchronize with Google account. I always receive a message like that: "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly", my ROM is CM 4.2.5 but I don't think that this ROM error.
At first, when I bought my phone is still OK, then I installed My Backup Pro, it backup and erased my contacts, then I cannot sync to my account, event I used ROM Hero, it still got that errors.
I wonder It maybe conflicted with My Backup Pro, I uninstalled it but nothing changed.
Or my contacts are so much, it's approximately 700 contacts.
Can anyone solve this problems? Thanks in advance.

he already said he is using Cyan 4.2.5......
How long have you been having this problem? Can you get a logcat just as you attempt to sync?
A wipe may fix this, but if you don't want to, just give us a logcat so we can help you out

I had this problem about 3 months ago? A wipe cannot fix this. I've used many ROMs event Hero, when I sync it took a long time, about 15 minutes, I tried it both mobile network and WIFI. When I checked my google account. So I have to use My Backup Pro, It wastes time to Backup and Restore.
No one has the same problem???
I would try clearing data from all google apps (menu->settings->applications->manage applications), also anything that may be remotely related to contacts (such as .... contacts.apk lol) That should fix it. Try toggling all the check boxes in "data sync" submenu.
Good luck.
Hi. I have a rooted Captivate with Froyo and a few weeks ago, my Contacts (the app) started acting up.
At first, my contacts (all Google contacts) would disappear and reappear randomly. Now my contacts are all gone, except for a few 'Unknown' ones which are recent callers. What's worse, now Contacts won't open most of the times and when it does, it makes the phone really slow or it force closes.
I don't recall (un)installing or modifying anything and I REALLY don't want to reset my phone.
At the time I was using GoDialer from the market but uninstalling it didn't change anything. Maybe it broke something. Is there a way to reinstall the Contacts app or files?
Anyway, I appreciate any help.
If you saved all your contacts under your gmail account you should be able to get them all back as long as you choose the "sync contacts" under account settings for gmail.
log into gmail, confirm that all of your contacts are there, and try clearing the data for the Contacts application. Then resync and hopefully you are all set. Maybe do a titanium backup of your contact data first, too, just to be 100% sure you don't delete anything.
Hi all..
I've tried searching for answers to my question for ages and its a no-go so i'm posting it here.
So here's my problem. My contacts are synced on google (not phone or sim) and their names are not the same as in facebook. When I sign in to facebook, as usual we're given 3 choices:
- Sync All
- Sync with existing contacts
- Remove facebook data
If i choose the 2nd (sync with existing contacts), only a few gets synced as not all of my contact's names are the same on my phone and on facebook. So i choose Sync All, and then manually join the contacts.
I'm on Darky's 10.2, and on TiBu what system app should I backup the data so the contacts i joined manually are retained when I flash a new rom with a full wipe? If i just flash a new rom everything disappears even after i've signed in to google and synced all my contacts. All their pictures are gone.
BTW I dont use the samsung's built in SNS account and have even deleted them off my phone.
Should I backup the contacts application? I've been trying many things and all dont seem to work. I just dont know which system app data to backup.. Its a pain to rejoin each and every contact after every reflash (which I do a lot)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Titanium backup. It might be the greatest app for android. I have backed up with titanium then a full reset and full wipe flash then restore with titanium and it is as if nothing even happened. I have ran in to the issue with using a different Rom then the backup and restoring the system data can screw things up. So I just go into titanium and choose only my contacts, wifi and Bluetooth parings.

You've quoted a over year hold post, chances are that you won't be getting a answer from him eh.
Restoring a system app is ALWAYS a bad idea, so don't go for that option. I never looked for a option myself but there should be a way to manually backup your current contacts (with pictures and everything) to google.
I have flashed w/ several 4.0.4 ICS custom Rom.
I have faced very strange happening which is 4 or 5 times repetitions of contact members despite my sync option is always OFF..
I am sick and tired of cleaning them where stored and reimporting from card.
I wonder what makes them to repeat too many times..
Any suggestion/ thanks in advance..
What i did was i downloaded GO Contacts EX frm the play store and i used its merge option (By name)... i did that once and then the contacts never duplicated...

yes
Thanks..
I did what you suggested but, whenever I open GOcontacts EX I see it is empty.
It deletes all contacts itself despite normal Contact app is repeating contact members over and over..
It needs reimporting everytime..
Recently when I have restarted my HTC One I have had various issues as follows:
1. App icons not displaying at all or just the generic green app icon, this is usually resolved after restarting a number of times
2. All text messages are deleted, don't know how to get them back
3. Call history deleted, couldn't really care less about this
4. The most annoying recent one is that contact favourites were deleted except for 2 and it only contained their email address now and not their phone numbers. Also when I try to add people to the favourties no contacts with phone numbers come up only those with email addresses, however I can find these contacts with numbers when I go to the people section when not adding a favourite. This is really bizarre.
Has anyone come across any of the above? Btw I have the Viper ROM installed and the kernel to make the home button the on button (sometimes this looses sensitivity)
Any help would be appreciated!
There are a couple of things you need to do
Firstly to get the contacts backed up use your Google email address and sync it allow it to sync your contacts but auto sync is a hog so I would only manually sync
Secondly I think that you need to re-flash the Rom as it seems to have all sorts of issues (it is a great Rom but there are also other as good I'm not knocking it at all)
but first go into Recovery and clear the Dalvic cache then reboot, it may resolve it
Failing that then just re-install the latest version and follow the instructions
Take care in installing all the mods you can as they may conflict, tbo on Viper it has been modded so most don't need to change a lot else

went with the re-flash, I think I know now what originally happened with my contacts, it dleted all those from the phone so I needed to export them from the sim to the phone again to rectifiy this and then they should have appeared in the favourites, bit strange but that's the way it appears to work.
thanks for your help!
